I purchased a leather seat cover from here: http://r.ebay.com/O6u1mh and had a local upholsterer fit it to my original seat for £50. The colour suits my bike much better than the HP XR red embroidered seat.

thanks for the reply flashmanI've got the faster red colour, with added white wheel rim stickers so gone for the same as ur's but white accents rather that blue.I must be mad as bound to prove a paint to keep clean but hey............ you only live once !cheers
